Rocovas 10 mg Tab
Rocovas 10 TabDescriptionRosuvastatin is an inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme that converts 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A to mevalonate, a precursor of cholesterol.IndicationsRosuvastatin is indicated for- primary hypercholesterolaemia (type IIa including heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia), mixed dyslipidaemia (type IIb), or homozygousfamilial hypercholesterolaemia in patients who have not responded adequately to diet and other appropriate measures.Dosage & AdministrationDose range: 5-40 mg once daily. Initially 5-10 mg once daily increased if necessary at intervals of at least 4 weeks to 20 mg once daily. Daily dose can be increased after further 4 weeks to 40 mg only in severe hypercholesterolaemia with high cardiovascular risk and under specialist supervision. Elderly initially 5 mg once daily.HoFH: Starting dose 20 mg.In pediatric patients 10 to 17 years of age with HeFH, the usual dose range is 5-20 mg/day; doses greater than 20 mg have not been studied in this patient population.Use 40 mg dose only for patients not reaching LDL-C goal with 20 mgRosuvastatin can be taken with or without food, at any time of day.Side EffectsRosuvastatin is generally well tolerated. The adverse events seen with Rosuvastatin are generally mild and transient. Most commonly occurring side-effects are headache, myalgia, asthenia, constipation, dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain. Uncommonly pruritus, rash and urticaria may occur. Myopathy (including myositis), hypersensitivity reactions (including angioedema), rhabdomyolysis, pancreatitis etc are the rarely occurring side-effects of Rosuvastatin.PrecautionsSkeletal muscle effects (e.g., myopathy and rhabdomyolysis): Risks increase with use of 40 mg dose, advanced age (>65 year), hypothyroidism, renal impairment, and combination use with cyclosporine, lopinavir/ritonavir, atazanavir/ritonavir, or certain other lipid-lowering drugs. Patients should be advised to promptly report unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness. Rosuvastatin can be discontinued if signs or symptoms appear.Liver enzyme abnormalities and monitoring: Persistent elevations in hepatic transaminases can occur. Liver enzymes should be monitored before and during treatment.Use in Pregnancy & LactationRosuvastatin should be administered to women of childbearing age only when such patients are highly unlikely to conceive and have been informed of the potential hazards. If the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, therapy should be discontinued and the patient apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus. Because of the potential for adverse reactions in nursing infants, women taking Rosuvastatin should not breast-feed.Drug InteractionRemarkable drug interactions of Rosuvastatin are-Cyclosporine: Combination increases Rosuvastatin exposure. Rosuvastatin dose should be limited to 5 mg once daily.Gemfibrosil: Combination should be avoided. If used together, Rosuvastatin dose should be limited to 10 mg once daily.Lopinavir/Ritonavir or atazanavir/ritonavir: Combination increases Rosuvastatin exposure. Rosuvastatin dose should be to 10 mg once daily.Coumarin anticoagulants: Combination prolongs international normalized ratio (INR). Stable INR should be achieved prior to starting Rosuvastatin. INR should be monitored frequently until stable upon initiation or alteration of Rosuvastatin therapy.Concomitant lipid-lowering therapies: Use with fibrates and niacin products may increase the risk of skeletal muscle effects.Use in special populationAge and sex: There was no clinically relevant effect of age or sex on the pharmacokinetics of Rosuvastatin in adults.Race: Pharmacokinetic studies show an increase in exposure in Asian subjects compared with Caucasians.Pregnancy and lactation: The safety of rosuvastatin during pregnancy and whilst breast feeding has not been established.Severe renal impairment (not on hemodialysis): Starting dose is 5 mg, not to exceed 10 mgOver DoseThere is no specific treatment in the event of overdose. In the event of overdose, the patient should be treated symptomatically and supportive measures instituted as required. Haemodialysis is unlikely to be of benefit...

The usual starting dose is 10-20 mg. Rosuvastatin can be administered as a single dose at any time of day, with or without food. When initiating Rosuvastatin therapy or switching from another HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor therapy, the appropriate Rosuvastatin starting dose should first be utilized, and only then titrated according to the patient`s response and individualized goal of therapy. After initiation or upon titration of Rosuvastatin, lipid levels should be analyzed within 2 to 4 weeks and the dosage adjusted accordingly. The 40 mg dose of Rosuvastatin should be used only for those patients who have not achieved their LDL-C goal utilizing the 20 mg dose.Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia in PediatricPatients (10 to 17 years of age): The usual dose range of Rosuvastatin is 5- 20 mg/day; the maximum recommended dose is 20 mg/day (doses greater than 20 mg have not been studied in this patient population). Doses should be individualized according to the recommended goal of therapy. Adjustments should be made atintervals of 4 weeks or more.PrecautionsRosuvastatin should be prescribed with caution in patients with predisposing factors for myopathy (e.g., age >65 years, inadequately treated hypothyroidism, renal impairment). The risk of myopathy during treatment with Rosuvastatin may be increased with concurrent administration of some other lipid-lowering therapies (Fibrates or Niacin), Gemfibrozil, Cyclosporine, Lopinavir/Ritonavir, or Atazanavir/Ritonavir. Rosuvastatin therapy should be discontinued if markedly elevated creatinine kinase levels occur or myopathy is diagnosed or suspected. Rosuvastatin therapy should also be temporarily withheld in any patient with an acute, serious condition suggestive of myopathy or predisposing to the development of renal failure secondary to rhabdomyolysis (e.g., sepsis, hypotension, dehydration, major surgery, trauma, severe metabolic, endocrine, and electrolyte disorders, or uncontrolled seizures). It is recommended that liver enzyme tests be performed before and at 12 weeks following both the initiation of therapy and any elevation of dose, and periodically (e.g., semiannually) thereafter...

Rosutin 10 tablet
rosutin-10mgWhat Rosutin® is and what it is used for?Rosutin® belongs to a group of medicines called statins.You have been prescribed Rosutin® because:You have a high cholesterol level. This means you are at risk from a heart attack or stroke. Rosutin® is used in adults, adolescents and children 6 years or older to treat high cholesterol. You have been advised to take a statin, because changing your diet and taking more exercise were not enough to correct your cholesterol levels. You should continue with your cholesterol-lowering diet and exercise while you are taking Rosutin®. OrYou have other factors that increase your risk of having a heart attack, stroke or related health problems.Heart attack, stroke and other problems can be caused by a disease called atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is due to build-up of fatty deposits in your arteries.Why is it important to keep taking Rosutin®?Rosutin® is used to correct the levels of fatty substances in the blood called lipids, the most common of which is cholesterol.There are different types of cholesterol found in the blood – ‘bad’ cholesterol (LDL-C) and ‘good’ cholesterol (HDL-C).Rosutin® can reduce the ‘bad’ cholesterol and increase the ‘good’ cholesterol.It works by helping to block your body’s production of ‘bad’ cholesterol. It also improves your body’s ability to remove it from your blood.For most people, high cholesterol does not affect the way they feel because it does not produce any symptoms. However, if it is left untreated, fatty deposits can build up in the walls of your blood vessels causing them to narrow.Sometimes, these narrowed blood vessels can get blocked which can cut off the blood supply to the heart or brain leading to a heart attack or a stroke.
